This Halloween I went to Leeds for a right royal drinkathon, and this time I went as Michael Jackson’s Thriller. I think the costume worked great with my expensive Thriller jacket, and thanks to Marijan’s make-up expertise the haunted Zombie style face paint worked a treat.
Of course I was a little too scary to actually talk to anyone as most people ran a mile from me. At least that’s the excuse I’m giving.
It may be November 2nd, but as it’s Friday I’ll be off to a Halloween party in Leeds university tonight, just as I did last year. Thought I doubt tonight’s party will go the same way, last year’s was particularly good ;).
I’ll be taking my new Nokia N95 camera phone with me to give it a thorough field test so there should be some great photos on here some time over the weekend. I’ll also let you know how the N95 holds up as I saw a comparison with the iPhone on the Gadget Show this week that saw the N95 kick the iPhone’s ass.
As regular readers will know, this year I’m dressing as Michael Jackson from the Thriller video.
If you remember last Halloween I bought two costumes, not sure if they’d both arrive in time. I bought a Michael Jackson Thriller jacket on eBay and a Jedi Knight Star Wars costume from Cloth Ears.
I decided to wear the Jedi costume, as it was marginally more expensive, and that proved to be a wise choice (as the photos in last year’s Halloween blogs show).
Well this year it’s the turn of Jacko and the Thriller costume. Now, I only have the Thriller leather jacket as I didn’t buy the full costume pictured here, so I’ll need to find some red trousers from somewhere, and a mullet wig… who do I know who has a mullet? Hmm…
Any road, it’ll be a good night and I will no doubt end up drunkenly busting some Thriller dance moves at some point, so expect the photos to make it here eventually.
Leeds was great, and until I can recover enough for a full transcript you’ll have to make do with this snap shot. I’m the Jedi, obviously!
I have slightly altered the photo, but not much.
It’s going to be quiet here for a few days as I’m off to Leeds tomorrow until Friday. Going for a Halloween party (as a Jedi) and hope to also get a chance to wear that Thriller jacket.
Should come back with some photos, and if my last trip oop north was anything to go by there’s likely to be a serious rant in it as well.
And who said I wouldn’t wear this to work? Here I am, today, sat in work dressed as a Jedi.
Funny though, I didn’t get a single second look walking from the car park, but then this is Cardiff Bay – and Doctor Who has been filmed here for the last two years. Guess they’re used to it.
Quick update for you all, I did win the aforementioned Michael Jackson Thriller jacket on eBay and for the bargain price of 132 quid.
And who says I need a hobby?
I shall be wearing that out in Leeds next week so long as it arrives by Monday.
As if buying a Jedi costume wasn’t enough for this coming Haloween, I’m also bidding on this Michael Jackson Thriller jacket on eBay. Always wanted one of these, if I win there’ll surly be some very tasteful gallery photos added next week.
